Quote
Why does the senator have such a dim view of the party that almost turned him into a presidential candidate? Because it keeps losing. "We have a Republican president who ran as the most unpopular candidate in the modern history of this country,” Sanders said. “Republicans control the House, the Senate, two-thirds of governor chairs, and in the last eight years they have picked up 900 legislative seats. Clearly the Democratic Party has got to change."

At least he recognizes that there's a problem, even if his solution will probably be the wrong one.

RE:

Pretty much what it's always been since the turn of the 20th century:
Socialism/communism.

Bernie understands -- it takes one to know one!
